Justification for Adopting Qualitative Research Method, Research Approaches, Sampling Strategy, Sample Size, Interview Method, Saturation, and Data Analysis

Justifying the adoption of the qualitative research method to satisfy the examiners (for thesis) and reviewers (for journal articles) is a challenging task for researchers in business, management, marketing, tourism, hospitality and albeit in social science domain. The difficulty continues in establishing the justification for selecting qualitative research approaches, sample strategy, sample size, data collection methods (i.e. interview methods), saturation, and data analysis. In this guide, we aim to ground brief justifications for researchers and guidance on how to justify the section of qualitative research method in thesis and journal articles. This study also provides brief justification on selecting specific qualitative research approaches, sampling strategies, sample size, interviews, and data analysis methods. Furthermore, this study provides a glimpse of justification regarding when and how to reach saturation point in qualitative research.

Change in medical and health care decision-making patterns at the End-of-Life: A cohort of the very old people

How does medical and healthcare decision-making among the very old people change in their last year before death? We explored patterns of decision-making in the Health ABC cohort study in 2011-14 (years 15-17), which involved 12 waves of quarterly phone interviews. When the participant was unable to do the interview, a proxy completed it instead. We identified a sample of 291 decedents (aged 90.0±2.9 at death, 35.7% Black, 52.6% female) with at least 1-year follow-up before death. Percentages of decedents who have made medical or healthcare decisions in the last four quarters before death were 32.0%, 31.2%, 32.6%, 41.9%, respectively. Decedents made more healthcare decisions in the last quarter before death (P<0.01), compared to the baseline. Across all quarters, decision-making is most in need for medications (17.6%), hospital admission (13.2%), and ER/urgent care visit (13.2%). We matched a 1:1 sample of survivors at the time of death by race, sex, and age (within ±3 years). In random effects models with multiple imputations of missing data, we found that decedents were more likely to make healthcare decisions than survivors across all four quarters before death or censor (Odds ratio=1.99, 95%CI: 1.49-2.65, P<0.01). The significance still held after adjusting for age, female, race, education, and interview methods. Overall, compared to matched survivors, the frequency of making medical and healthcare decisions among the very old decedents has already been high in the last year before death. This frequency rose sharply in the last quarter before death.

In the study document analysis and semi-structured interview methods were used for this purpose. A total of 2,065 questions were examined from the examinations prepared by 61 teachers working in 20 different schools in Ortahisar, which is in the central district of Trabzon. The exam questions were examined in terms of the question types commonly used in education, their class levels and their status for creative thinking skills according to their subjects.
